MOPS - Mothers of Preschoolers
MOPS provides a Christ-centered caring ministry for mothers of children from birth through kindergarten. MOPS cares that a women…
- has a safe place to be herself
- grows to be all that she can as a wife, mother and friend
- knows and experiences God’s love
In this high stress period of a mother’s life, she may feel inadequate, frustrated or lonely. Frequently these feelings go unresolved. MOPS is committed to meeting the needs of mothers by:
- creating an atmosphere of encouragement and acceptance
- developing a sense of commitment to family, other women, church and community
- providing opportunities for the improvement of leadership skills and contributing to a sense of self-worth and confidence
- promoting spiritual growth by encouraging each woman to discover that Christ is relevant in her life
Typical MOPS meetings include an informal time of treats and conversation followed by an instructional time. Subjects related to womanhood, marriage, childrearing and relationships are presented from a biblical perspective. Small discussion groups provide honest interaction, deepening friendships and spiritual enrichment. A craft activity time promotes a sense of accomplishment through creative expression.
MOPPETS - Children's Program
The MOPPETS program is designed specifically to care for the needs of children from birth through kindergarten. The purpose of the ministry is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for children and to introduce them to the love of GOD. Our MOPPETS program wants each child to:
